Not Guilty Verdict Sparks Media Meltdown  MJEOL Bullet #274 JUNE 14 2005 — A mostly white, conservative Santa Maria jury found Michael Jackson not guilty on 10 felony counts and 4 misdemeanor counts leveled against him by the prosecution in a California courtroom yesterday. Some members of the media have all but pulled their hair out on camera at a verdict that they cant explain-away/downplay/second-guess. They cant say he got off because the black jurors didnt trust the government. There were no black jurors. They cant say he got off because it was moved to liberal Los Angeles County. The defense didnt opt to move it to another location. They have no where to go .oh but thats not stopping them from trying. Not 2 hours after the verdict, some had already begun to look for a reason why the jury didnt convict an innocent Jackson of the charges against him. The aptly titled Nancy disGrace (thats Nancy Grace) yelled that the poor minority family didnt stand a chance against the Jackson machine. Poor minority my ass! This poor minority family has connections not only to law enforcement, but also to the military. One of Janet Arvizos connections was a police officer shed known for a long time before this trial. Shes also married to an army Major who makes $80,000 a year. Not to mention all of the thousands of dollars out of which they apparently defrauded celebrities. Oh yeah, boohoo for the poor minority family. If anyone had a handicap coming into this trial, it was Michael Jackson, who the media had already tried and convicted both in 1993 and 2003 with zero evidence.
